Fierce Fifteen - Week 16 NFL Power Rankings

It was all about the defense in Week 15, as nearly every game had both teams scoring under 25 points. This usually means less excitement, and some would argue that's exactly how it unfolded, but who doesn't like great defense? The NFL these days is all about offense, so when there's one week during the season where the defense dominates, then why not appreciate it and soak it in. Great defense is exactly what the Packers ran into this past week , and there were a few other 'potential' playoff teams that lost, which will shuffle the rankings heading into Week 16. In saying that, here's how the Fierce Fifteen stack up this week:


1. New England Patriots (11-3)

2. Denver Broncos (11-3)

3. Seattle Seahawks (10-4)

4. Green Bay Packers (10-4)

5. Arizona Cardinals (11-3)

6. Indianapolis Colts (10-4)

7. Detroit Lions (10-4)

8. Dallas Cowboys (10-4)

9. Cincinnati Bengals (9-4-1)

10. Philadelphia Eagles (9-5)

11. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-5)

12. Baltimore Ravens (9-5)

13. Kansas City Chiefs (8-6)

14. Buffalo Bills (8-6)

15. San Diego Chargers (8-6)
